About him

Since being widowed fifteen years ago I have cruised my Dutch Barge in Europe, taking my comforts with me. I have loved that life yet despite searching I have not found the right person to share that interest with me, either just as a companion or hopefully more.
Emotionally I love water and the countryside, mountains and valleys, dawns and sunsets, birdsong in the evenings as the sun goes down, then an open fire. I am a very genuine, honest, tactile and sensitive person and in the right company can be be very funny, though erring on the silly side. I am very open when I get to know someone and, having spent a long time alone, tend to talk to clarify my mind. I am very supportive, might make suggestions if asked but would be very reluctant to tell you what to do. I value honesty highly and find difficulty with people who form groups that exclude others. I do not take advantage of mistakes and am never sarcastic. On the negative side I can become engrossed. I would see it as fair that you get my attention before accusing me of not listening.
By background I am an engineer who became interested in management and people and what makes them tick. I have achieved much but need something or someone new.
I enjoy music and started learning to play the piano two years ago. I have a keyboard on the barge.
I no longer have a beard.

About his ideal match

I would like to meet a nature and water or even boat loving lady.

Someone who is happy being herself. Someone who has tried, even if sometimes she has failed. She doesn't have to be perfect or at the top of her game but is probably brave. An honest, open person with a sense of fun, who if the relationship was to become deeper, values fidelity as I do. I am open to new experiences and would look forward to sharing her interests too.
